This cemetery had been long abandoned and was in very bad shape and in danger of being reclaimed by the forest. A few years ago, Mr. Cleo Tucker of Mena, Arkansas spent many, many days working at getting it back into shape. He passed away 18 August 2002 and the cemetery is at this time still in very good condition. In addition to the tombstones we photographed, there are between 30 and 50 graves marked only with fieldstones.
